Schools, Markets Shut As Pro-Biafra Agitators Demonstrate In Imo
100_1797
Hundreds of supporters of the pro Biafra groups on Thursday marched along the major streets of Owerri calling for the release of Mr Nnamdi Kanu, the alleged mastermind of Radio Biafra.

The demonstrators comprising the members of Movement for the Sovereign State of Biafra (MASSOB), Indigenous People of Biafra among others were chanting different pro-Biafra songs and other war songs.
Our reporter who monitored the demonstrators reports that armed security operatives like police, Navy and army were seen accompanying the demonstrators in their pick-up vans.
Some of the demonstrators told journalists that the agitation was for the federal to release Kanu unconditionally and allow Biafra people freedom.
They said that it was wrong for the federal government and her security agents to arrest Kanu because he supports and believe in the freedom of Biafra people.

“Kanu did not commit any wrong to be arrested by the Nigeria government and we cannot hold ourselves back in asking for his release even if we die in the process’’, one of the protesters said.

He said that the members of the group had carried out the demonstration in Enugu, Aba, and Port Harcourt adding, ‘we are in Owerri today and hope to extend this move to other towns within Biafran territory till we achieve our aim’’.

The demonstrators wore Biafra T-Shirt and flags, singing songs and calling for the immediate release of Nnamdi Kanu, the alleged mastermind of the Radio Biafra which the federal government recently shut down.

The three markets in Owerri; Owerri Main Market, New Market and Owerri Relief Market were shut down, while some private school s and shop owners closed their shops to avoid any unexpected problem.

When contacted on why armed policemen were sighted accompanying the pro-separatists agitators, DSP Andrew Enwerem, the Police Public Relations Officer, (PPRO) declined comment.
